Working Together
Think about careers! Picture where and how you'd like to work and whom you'd like to work with.
1. Find details about at least three different jobs that you might like to do as an adult: education, skills, setting, compensation, career opportunities, and other characteristics.
2. Choose a place where you would like to live, such as the city, a farm, or a small town. What kinds of jobs are available in these locations?
3. With Crayola® Washable Markers, draw a picture of yourself working together with other people in a job that particularly interests you. Include details about the work environment, such as landscape, buildings, and equipment.
4. Write a pretend journal entry about your day at work, from breakfast to bedtime, using Crayola Colored Pencils.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
- Interview classmates' parents or other community workers about their jobs. Visit their workplaces for first-hand knowledge.
- Children who are emerging readers explore familiar community jobs, such as librarian, grocery clerk, or farmer.
- Study various places in the world. Draw a picture about the culture, and imagine a person who lives and works there.
